reshaping Brooks B17 before tour

Hey guys- I'm doing my first tour in September from Seattle to Berkeley, CA and had a question about saddle comfort. I left my B17 out in the rain once and rode it wet. Since doing so I noticed that the places where my sit bones lie have become depressed. What was once a springy feel of the saddle has become less so as the travel available to the sit bones has decreased and they sort of sit on the rails. This is all fine and dandy on rides I've done lately that are ~70 miles but I'm wondering if there is a quick fix to pop those depressions out and improve comfort for my tour. I plan on ~60 miles per day.

Advice appreciated!
